Make Visual Basic Result Has XP looking

Logo
What do you bore with Windows 9x looking at your Visual Basic IDE and project, just turn it to XP looking and you’ll get a modern looking :) .

OK, follow these steps :
1. Type this script :



version="1.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
name="WindowsXP"
type="win32"
/>
Your application description here.



type="win32"
name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
version="6.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
language="*"
/>

at your text editor such as Notepad.
Write notepad

2. Save that script with name: application.exe.manifest (in this case I save it as vb.exe.manifest) and save in the same folder that application installed (in my case I save it at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98 folder).
Save in the same folder

3. And try it with your Visual Basic 6 now, and you can apply this tricks to the other application (but that’s not always work).
